Catch the amateur performances

It may not be the main attraction, but watching little kids in grass skirts wiggle their way around the stage is an endearing glimpse at the future of Heiva.

Stick around for the after-party

You’re in paradise, and chances are you won’t want to leave right away. Take advantage of the fact that dancers perform their acts at smaller, more intimate venues on various islands after the festival has ended. Ask around to get the lowdown on the post-festival hoedown.

Island hop

With 118 diverse islands offering everything from postcard-perfect beaches to lush jungles and rugged mountains, there’s much to explore here.

Heiva at home

Heiva I Tahiti isn’t the only Heiva. There are similar festivals all over the world, including San Diego, Reno, and Kauai.
